[edit] Lyrics

[edit] Pallavi

O rAjIvAkSa OrajUpulu1 jUcedavErA
nE nIku vErA
Show Details		O Lotus-eyed! Why do you look at me with sidelong glances?
Am I alien to You?

[edit] Anupallavi

nErani nApai nEramuleJcitE
kArAdani balkEvAru2 lEni nannu
Show Details		(Why look obliquely) at me who has noone to object
when you take offence at the unlearned me?

[edit] Charanam

1. makkuvatO ninnu mrokkina janulaku
dikku3 nIvaiyati grakkuna brOtuvani
ekkuva sujanulayokka mATalu vini
cakkani zrI rAma dakkiti gadarA
Show Details		Having heard the words of many virtuous people that
you become the refuge and protect very quickly,
those people who salute you with love,
Did I not surrender to You, O charming Sri Rama!
2. miti-mera lEni prakRti-lOna tagili nE
matihInuDai sannuti sEya nEraka
batimAli nIvE gatiyani nera nammiti
gAni ninu maracitinA santatamu
Show Details		Trapped in the limitless measureless worldly-life,
losing my mind and becoming unable to praise you,
beseeching, I trusted you alone to be my refuge.
But did I ever forget you?
3. mAvara suguNa umAvara-sannuta
dEvara dayajEsi brOvaga-rAdA
pAvana bhaktajanAvana mahAnu-
bhAva tyAgarAja-bhAvita yiGka4 nannu
Show Details		O Consort of Lakshmi! O Virtuous one! O Lord well-praised by Siva!
Won’t you please save me?
O Holy one! O Protector of devotees! O Noble-minded!
One deeply felt by Thyagaraja! Still, (Why do you look at me obliquely?)

[edit] Variations

  • 2 palkE vAru – paluku vAru
  • 3 dikku nIvai – dikku nIvani
  • 4 iGka nannu – iGkanu

[edit] Commentary

  • 1Ora jUpu – sidelong glance – look obliquely – this is not same as ‘side glance’ which is considered ‘grace’ (kaTAkSa) (krE-kannu).
